That an interesting response from your employer, but yay that you are getting your overtime. 

Isn't it? I know why she said it, though. I'm one of three employees just this week who are quitting (not a conspiracy, I swear), and one of them is quitting on the grounds of refusing to sign new employee contracts everyone got issued. She had her lawyer look it over and he made changes to it and told her to have our boss sign off the changes/agree to negotiate some of the terms. Apparently our boss accused my co-worker of "not trusting her," so I believe the double-whammy of me asking for overtime pay and another employee asking her to negotiate the terms in the contract has her on edge. 

FTR, the employee contract and the terms it contained don't really affect me, and there is nothing in them that will have any bearing on my departure from the company (trust me, I read and re-read it, especially since we're covering unconscionability and unenforceability in Contracts right now, many of the cases involving job contracts).

Just read this thread from the beginning. Wow - I'm impressed that you put up with their nonsense, and even more so with your maturity going through this! Congrats on the new job, that's wonderful

Such awesome updates! Congrats!

I bet if you weren't going to work for a law firm they probably wouldn't have been so accommodating on the overtime, but hey, whatever works!

And to the PP who mentioned being paid for lunch... the rule for me has always been that you get an hour for lunch, half of which is paid and half is unpaid. So while you're at the office for 8 hours * 5 days = 40 hours a week, you're only on the clock for 37.5. So you need to be clocked in for >42.5 before you've actually worked 40 hours. That's why many offices are 8:30-5 hours instead of 9-5, so you are actually clocked in for 40 hours.
